Your Snapchat location could share more than you think

Snapchat’s map feature can make it easy to connect with friends, but it may also reveal where you are and patterns in your daily life. This article explains how to review your location settings, turn on Ghost Mode, and limit who can see where you are.


Who is at risk

Anyone who uses Snapchat, especially teens and people who share their location with many contacts, is most at risk.

What to watch for

Watch for signs that your location is being shared more broadly than you intended, including friends or contacts knowing where you are when you did not tell them.

What to do

Open Snapchat now, review your Snap Map settings, turn on Ghost Mode if needed, and limit location sharing to only trusted people or no one at all.
